Gospel
Matthew 11:16-19
They listened to neither John nor to the Son of Man.
Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by her works.”
Reflection
When i look at this reading it shows how quick man are at being judgemental. They are usually good at saying something negative. Two thousand years later we are still quick at being judgemental. The truth is for Christ it is our deeds that matters. What have we done to glorify our Lord?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus help us to have a pure of heart.Let us not be quick to speak evil but let our deeds glorify your name.
Amen
